EMPTY NESTERS Best Friends & Podcasters Leah Mangum and Jill Whelan On Life, Love & Careers

Host Nanette Wiser chats with the Empty Nesters podcasters from their West Coast nests, where the kids still come home for a good meal and a visit. Navigating careers, life without the kids in residence and discovering who they want to be now is an adventure, say Leah Mangum and bestie Jill Whelan.  They have decorated school gyms together and have been Cub Scout Den Mom’s together. It’s been so much fun navigating the road ahead with laughter and insight. This isn’t their first time working together. They have produced, written and starred in the TV movie Take it From Top. Leah is seasoned actress, casting director, producer, and writer hailing from the south side of Chicago. Her passion for the performing arts lead her to attend Loyola University and honed her craft on the stages of Equity Theaters all over Chicago. Her dedication to the arts also led her on a North American tour with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, featuring Donny Osmond. Mangum sold a show to Yippee TV (The Fun Show) which will be available premiering in 2024. She is also known for her film Still Here which she had the pleasure to act in and produce with her lovely and talented friend Chuck Saculla. With a passion for storytelling, her and her husband Jonathan Mangum have produced the TV movie Doing it Yourself and the movie Manband. Married to Jonathan Mangum, Leah is also the mother of two sons, Austin and Chase who are also in the performing arts.
